About the author:
\nKathy Reichs&rsquo\;s first novel Dé\;jà\; Dead< /em>\, published in 1997\, won the Ellis Award for Best First Novel and wa s an international bestseller. To date\, she has written twenty-two novels featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. Kathy was also a pr oducer of Fox Television&rsquo\;s longest running scripted drama\, Bon es\, which was based on her work and her novels. One of very few fore nsic anthropologists certified by the American Board of Forensic Anthropol ogy\, Kathy divides her time between Charlotte\, North Carolina\, and Mont real\, Qué\;bec.
\nIn \;The Bone Hacker\, \;forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan becomes embroil ed in a series of bizarre disappearances on the islands of Turks and Caico s\, leading her deeper and deeper into a labyrinthine plot to wreak worldw ide havoc&mdash\;unless she can find the culprit first.
\nCalled in to examine what is left of a person thought to have been struck by lightni ng\, Tempe traces an unusual tattoo to its source and is soon embroiled in a much larger case. Young men&mdash\;tourists&mdash\;have been disappeari ng on the islands of Turks and Caicos. Seven years earlier\, the first vic tim was found in a strange location with his left hand hacked off\; subseq uently\, two other visitors vanished without a trace. But\, recently\, tan talizing leads have emerged and only Tempe can unravel them.
\nMadde ningly\, the victims seem to have nothing in common&mdash\;other than the odd places where their bodies turn up\, and the fact that none seems likel y to have been involved in criminal activity. Do these attacks have someth ing to do with the islands&rsquo\; seething culture of gang violence? Temp e isn&rsquo\;t so sure. Disturbingly\, she discovers evidence that what&rs quo\;s at stake may actually have global significance.
\nIt isn&rsqu o\;t long before the sound of a ticking clock grows menacingly loud. Then Temper herself becomes a target.
